Bowling: a guide for your next round

Choose a round of Bowling and settle into its rules. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.

A small practice goal

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

The goal to keep in mind

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

Step by step

  1. Set lane position and power.
  2. Roll into the rack.
  3. A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
  4. The tenth can earn bonus rolls.

Using the playing area

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Follow the example

A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

Pay attention to this rule

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
